Regions are the part of SimCity where multi-player activity occurs. There are 8 regions, and each region contains from 2 to 16 city sites and varying numbers of Great Works sites.
A player has the opportunity while setting up their game to choose the region, and whether the region will be public or private. In a public region, anyone on the server is welcome to join the region and claim a city. In a private region, only those players invited by the creator of the region can claim cities.
Neighboring cities have various affects on each other, both positive and negative.
